No, just no. Small room with 6 people, way to claustrophobic. Dirty and really old furniture with the smell of birds and animals everywhere. Not a pleasant place to stay in the slightest. Just give it a pass. Place needs a total makeover.

We stayed in the upstairs room, if I stayed there another day I would had developed hayfever from the mouldy smell. Its silly to have so many dogs wondering all over the place. What if some guests had dog allergies. Surely there should be boundaries. Those who stay there permanently or part of the household seemed in a permanent daze....

Stuffy, cramped, a little bit smelly and frilly decor all over the loo's (?). We stayed in a "6 bed dorm" which left a lot to the imagine.

Not what I was looking for in. Backpackers. The walls are then, the beds squeak, and frankly I felt like I was staying in someone's house, not a backpackers. It looks nothing like the pictures and has no "view" If you are looking for the typical "backpacker" feel don't stay here. Not worth the price. The staff was very friendly...

This backpackers was in a good location close to the town. Staff were friendly and gave help/advice when asked. Our room was in a really noisy spot - right next to the kettle and drink making facilities.
